It Always Pays To Have Extra Batteries In Your Pocket!

For the last few weeks, the beautiful clock in the German bakery (German Baked Specialties) has been frozen on 11:20, and it was driving me CRAZY!!!! The workers kept saying the clock was broken, and the boss was going to look into it. Finally tonight I asked the guy exactly WHAT was wrong with the clock. He told me the batteries were dead. OK, that's a bit different from "broken." LOL I asked him what kind of batteries it took, and he said "one double-A." Great! I had 4 on me, because of my digital camera. It's standard for me to keep 2 in the camera, and 4 spaces on me. I don't have anything that uses an odd number of batteries, so I gave him 2 of the AA's and figured that if one lasted about a year in a clock like that, he'd never have an excuse to have a stopped clock. He was pretty impressed that i was able to solve the problem, and re-filled my coffee cup, free. Nice to know that having a purse full of batteries pays off, and I'm glad that flippin' clock finally works!!! :) People, if you carry extra batteries of any kind on you, pop an extra set in your bag, or pocket, incase someone's clock has stopped. :)
